Here's the sample quilt for Jennifer Chiaverini's quilt book
Loyal Union Sampler
There are 121 blocks, each 6" x 6"
This book will keep you in stitches for 2 years.
It's paired with her novel
The Union Quilters
See her web page here:

And Civil War Jubilee
And since you will be working on this sampler into 2015 here's a sneak peek at my next mid-19th-century reproduction collection from Moda: Ladies' Album.
Ladies Album should be in shops in March, 2014.
See a preview of Jennifer's book at C&T here.

It looks like a wonderful quilt to make. I am hoping to make and finish more quilts this year. I got a gift certificate for my bday and I found a nice small machine that I can use for basic sewing and then set my good one up for quilting and work on them a bit at a time.

I've already started this quilt. One in Scrappy Blues and whites and the 2nd in some of Jennifer's Fabrics. The patterns are fun to make 6.5". I wish I had a stash of your fabrics, so I could make it with them. That BLUE might work...
I am proud to say that my quilt is in the book on page 100. It was fun making at and of course I also read to book.
I was lucky enough to make several blocks for the group quilts in the gallery. I am also leading a Loyal Union Sampler block of the week on Yahoo (with Jennifer's blessing) (LUS-BOW). I am making two versions of the quilt, one in Civil War fabrics and one in Blue and Yellow fabrics. I'll be re-reading (listening) to The Union Quilters as I stitch along.
